....other than the word "high pressure" and $10 less between these pumps? I am looking at the Walbro 255lph.

You might look into getting the 450. As far as I'm aware, there isn't any downside. However, with the 2gs you may have to mess around with some stuff.
 
So lets say I wanted to go e85, would that one work? And I would have to go 1250cc injectors...

Depends on your power goals. The 450 is perfect for E85. I ran my 255lph on E85 and it did alright at 27psi with my FP green. I was about out of pump though. The proper way to install the 450 is to remove the factory feed tube on the sending unit by drilling it out and adding a bulkhead fitting with a barb and submersible fuel hose with clamps going to the pump. I couldn't get mine to work properly without doing that. I tried everything from the toyota seal to the factory o-ring. The OEM way that the pump seals is junk.

You will need to drill out the siphon as stated above. It is super easy and takes no time at all. 1/8th is the size you want to use. Any bigger and you will mess up the venturi flow. Once I did my -8AN feed line and installed the 450 the proper way I had fuel pressure that I couldn't get below 60psi at idle. Drilled out the siphon to 1/8th and that fixed it. The 450 is an amazing pump in my opinion. You just have to do a little extra to get it to work properly.
